Someone else had said the jojo meme with Dio and Jotaro. I kind of see that but their arms connecting throws it off

The themes in this anime are insane. I seriously need to learn how to write a story like this.

To Your Eternity season 1 was a display of phenomenal story telling that played with emotions and feelings, that pulled you in and didn't stop pulling until you were sobbing into a pillow.

Season 2 was (imo) somewhat lesser to s1, but not by much. It was still a fantastic ride and a genuinely heart pulling anime, this time with much more action and higher stakes.

S3 so far has been a dramatic drop in story telling quality. S1 and 2 had vivid characters that, within moments of showing them on screen, you were already attached, and yet s3 is losing that touch. Halfway through episode 9, I was ready to drop the series. The end of ep9 has given me a bit of hope for the following episodes and I'm going to stick with it for the overarching plot, but it isn't hitting as hard.

All the budget went to the flashy flash fight. Then it was back to neon slideshows. Still, a good improvement.

Yeah pretty much

Am I fucking tripping or is this gif eternally zooming in??

Unfortunately this usually requires a dedicated mod team. For smaller servers it's not much a problem but when that scales up, companies often decide paying for an enormous dedicated mod team to review reports and make bans isn't worth it when there are cheaper (albeit shittier) options.

The water stays in the bucket because its geometry tilts its axis, keeping the bottom pointing in the direction of the water's inertia

I was with you until this line. I spent some time thinking on it and I think I sort of get what you were talking about? Let me see if I can't explain it back to you. The water and the bucket both want to keep going linearly, which they can't because of the string. The bucket arcs around, but the inertia of the water keeps going linearly, causing it to press against the bottom of the bucket. If the bucket continues to be driven in circular motion, it's this momentum that drives the water against the bottom of the bucket? While the side of the bucket drives the water along the circular path?

Your third point clarifies some things for me a lot. I seem to have forgotten that acceleration describes a change in direction and/or a change in magnitude of the velocity vector: I recall now in my physics textbooks that objects in non-constant circular motion have a tangential acceleration, and the total acceleration lies somewhere between those, but if the velocity remains constant, then the only acceleration is the centripetal acceleration describing the change in the velocity's direction.

However, I still have some questions about points one and two. I understand that things in circular motion want to fly out tangentially away from the center, not radially away. Yet, in so far as I can observe, objects do seem to press outwards radially. In the example with the bucket of water, the water sticks to the bottom of the bucket instead of pressing against the side wall. In another example, that of those carnival rides that spin people around in a saucer (gravitron I think it's called?), the carmival goers tend to stick to the wall of the ride as though they were being flung out radially, instead of rolling along the edge or something else. I guess it's this disconnect between what I know is correct (objects fly tangentially to their circular paths) and what I observe (objects stick to the wall radially away from the center).

Let me see if I understand this. So the bucket acts on the water, pushing it in a direction, then the bucket's motion changes, changing the motion of the water, then this repeats ad naseum in a circle. So the bucket is experiencing a centripetal force (tension from the string), but not the water: it's motion is changing as a result of the bucket pushing on it. So then if the bucket is moving in a counter clockwise direction, the "left" wall of the bucket would be the thing acting on the water. Wouldn't that cause the water to stick to the left wall of the bucket, not the bottom?

In regards to your example with the marbles and anti-particles, I understand it in principle, but I'm not quite sure I get how fictitious anti particles relate to fictitious forces. I mean, I think I get it, and I understand what you mean by it not having a universal phenomenon driving the force. I'm just not sure I could explain it back to you.

No offense but please don't insult me like this. I abhor AI and the whole reason I ask this is because I've been reading through my old physics text book and got to the part with circular motion. I've watched the crash course video on circular motion and have read through physics forums explaining this and the Wikipedia article for this subject and I still don't understand it.

I understand where you're coming from and I know you don't know me, so it's a fair assumption considering how much fucking AI there is, and I appreciate you encouraging actual research instead of consulting AI, but damn do I feel insulted.

 

I understand that in order for an object to maintain circular motion, its velocity vector must be travelling perpendicular to its position vector and constantly changing inwards, hence an acceleration towards the center of the circle. I know that the acceleration towards the center is typically caused by other forces, like tension on a string, and that these are called centripetal forces I believe? However, objects in circular motion tend to want to be away from the center instead of towards. A bucket of water tied to a string and twirled around in a circle will result in the water staying in the bucket: if the water is exhibiting circular motion, would it not thusly be accelerating inward, and thus escaping the bucket? I've heard that it's a difference of frame of reference, but even looking from out to in, I can't see how the water would be accelerating inward and yet remain in the bucket without support. Would there not be some force pushing the water into the bucket? And yet, centrifugal force is considered a fictitious force. I don't understand. I know I understand some level of physics but please explain it like I'm 5 because I can't seem to actually understand this.

 

Bit very heated after some gametime tonight. hopped on to chill for a bit and shoot some bugs and instead died repeatedly to bullshit mechanics, op bugs, and teamkills. Why the hell is Oshaune so miserable? Why the hell is the dragonroach a mass murdering flying tank? Why the hell does every weapon suck except against your own teammates? Fuck man.

4 hours left and it's only halfway done. Shame, the constitution is such a fun gun but so ineffective.

Edit: Yeah there's no way half of the kills were from melee with the constitution. Devs just gave us this one lmao

 

Ah yes, 30 hive guards is absolutely a fun swarm to fight against.

Edit: Ah yes, a hive lord suplexing your G.A.T.O.R is a feasible and avoidable hazard. (It's actually really funny but losing a whole campaign because of it is rather frustrating)

 
 

Didn't realize eagle one was also a sniper

 

I hate investing. Shit in general is made up bullshit and is halfway between a scam and gambling, but unfortunately I live in a society and have to play these games for my own survival. Anyways a coworker I generally trust recommended I get one of these for retirement or college funding or whatever: the concept is I pay towards a life insurance policy and after some time I can leverage it for cash to do stuff with. I'm not familiar with all the details of how it works: whether it's a loan with no interest or an early use of my policy's pay out. So, I was wondering if anyone here has used one in the past or knows of these matters and can provide advice on it.

 

Got a functioning crockpot for 5 dollars at my local reuse/recycling/thrift store. Looking for good vegan recipes I can use it for.

 

I've had my mind on a google pixel (one of the used variety) for GrapheneOS but then i heard about Fairphones and I'm not sure which is preferable or if there's any other options.

 

Bit frustrating. Not every app, but a few I'd really like don't work because of this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

 

YouTube revanced and yt music revanced have been god sends. Am I able to use them with Graphene?
